On Sunday's impressive sweep in Starkville…
"Overall, I was pleased today. I thought we came out with good focus and energy. The Sunday match of a two-match weekend on the road is always a physical and mental challenge, but I thought we showed some maturity today. There's lot of stuff we can still get better at, but we're slowly but surely picking away at them."
